1. Field of the invention
This invention relates in general to a mono-layer type or multi-layer type electrophotographic element, and in particular to a novel electrophotographic element having a photosensitive layer containing as an available ingredient a hydrazone compound having the following general formula (I) or an anile compound having the following general formula (II): ##STR3## [where R1 is a methyl, ethyl, 2-hydroxyethyl or 2-chloroethyl group; R2 is a methyl, ethyl, benzyl or phenyl group; and R3 is chlorine, bromine, a C1 -C4 alkyl group, a C1 -C4 alkoxy group, a dialkylamino group with C1 -C4 alkyl or a nitro group.] ##STR4## [where R1 is the same as the said general formula (I); and R4 is a substituted or non-substituted phenyl, naphthyl, heterocyclic or C1 -C10 alkyl group.]

2. Description of the Prior Art
Inorganic substances such as selenium, cadmium sulfide, zinc oxide, etc. have hitherto been utilized as photoconductive materials for use in elements in electrophotographic processes. In this context, it is to be noted that the "electrophotographic process" referred to herein generally denotes one of the image forming methods which comprise the steps of electrifying a photoconductive element in the dark first of all for instance with corona discharge or the like, then exposing the element to light in an imagewise manner to selectively dissipate the charge from only the light struck portions of the element thereby forming a latent image and rendering the latent image visible by means of a developing process utilizing an electroscopic fine powder comprising a coloring agent called a toner such as dye, pigment or the like and a binder resin such as resin, high molecular substance or the like thereby forming a visible image. The element adapted for the above-mentioned electrophotographic process is required to possess the following fundamental characteristics: (1) capability of being charged with a suitable potential in the dark, (2) low discharge rate in the dark, (3) rapid dischargeability upon light radiation and so forth. The hitherto utilized inorganic substances as enumerated above surely possess a number of merits, but at the same time possess various demerits. For instance, the now universally utilized selenium can satisfy the aforesaid requirements (1) to (3) to a sufficient degree, but is defective in that it is manufactured with difficulty and consequently the manufacturing cost is high. In addition, the selenium is defective in that it is difficult to process the selenium, which has no flexibility, into a belt, close attention must be paid in handling the selenium which is very sensitive to mechanical impacts and the like. On the other hand, the cadmium sulfide and zinc oxide are utilized in the element in the manner of their being dispersed in a binder resin. However, such element lacks the mechanical characteristics such as smoothness, hardness, tensile strength, frictional resistance, and therefore it can not stand repeated use.
In recent years, electrophotographic elements employing various kinds of organic substances have been proposed in order to remove the drawbacks inherent in the inorganic substances as enumerated above. Some of said elements are put to practical use, for instance, such as the element including poly-N-vinylcarbazole and 2,4,7-trinitrofluorene (U.S. Pat. No. 3,484,237), the element including poly-N-vinylcarbazole sensitized with a pyrylium salt type pigment (Japanese Patent Publication No. 25658/1973), the element including an organic pigment as the principal ingredient (Japanese Laid-open Patent Application No. 37543/1972), the element including a cocrystalline complex consisting of dye and resin as the principal ingredient (Japanese Laid-open Patent Application No. 10735/1972), etc. However, the fact is that these elements surely are considered to possess superior characteristics as well as high practical values, but, when taking into consideration various requirements for elements, can not meet these requirements yet to a satisfactory degree.
On the other hand, it is perceived that these excellent elements, though there is a difference therebetween depending on their objects or manufacturing processes, can generally exhibit superior characteristics as a result of incorporating high-efficient photoconductive materials therein.
We have made a series of studies on the photoconductive material of this kind to discover the fact that said hydrazone compound having the general formula (I) or said anile compound having the general formula (II) acts effectively as the photoconductive material for electrophotographic elements. In other words, we have discovered that the hydrazone compound (I) or the anile compound having the general formula (II), as mentioned subsequently, can provide, when combined with various kinds of materials, elements which can exhibit unexpectedly superior effects and are rich in surprisingly versatile usability.
The hydrazone compound having the general formula (I) or the anile compound having the general formula (II) suitably used for this invention is prepared in any usual manner, in other words, in the manner of causing a condensation reaction between equimolecular weights of 3-formyl carbazoles and phenylhydrazines [in the case of the general formula (I)] or amines [in the case of the general formula (II)] in alcohol, if needed, by adding a small quantity of acid (glacial acetic acid or mineral aicd). There are instances where said hydrazines or amines preferably should be used in slightly excess quantities at the time of condensation reaction for the purpose of facilitating the purification of raw reaction products.
As the compounds corresponding to the general formula (I) there can be enumerated the following ones. ##STR5##
As the compounds corresponding to the general formula (II), furthermore, there can be enumerated the following ones. ##STR6##

The electrophotographic elements according to this invention, which include the above defined hydrazone compounds or anile compounds, can take the forms illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3 depending upon how these hydrazone compounds or anile compounds are applied. The element illustrated in FIG. 1 comprises a conductive substrate 1 and a photosensitive layer 2 adjacent the substrate, the photosensitive layer consisting essentially of a hydrazone compound (1) or anile compound (II), a sensitizing dye and a binder resin.

The element illustrated in FIG. 3 comprises a conductive substrate 1 and a photosensitive layer 2" adjacent the substrate, the photosensitive layer 2" being comprised of a charge generation layer 5 which is essentially a charge generation material 3 and a charge transport layer 6 including a hydrazone compound (I) or an anile compound (II).
In the element of FIG. 1, the hydrazone compound (I) or the anile compound (II) functions as a photoconductive material and therefore the generation and transportation of charges required for light decay is effected through the hydrazone compound or anile compound. However, as the hydrazone compound (I) or the anile compound (II) is scarcely absorptive to visible light region, in case where it is utilized for the purpose of forming an image by means of visible light, it must be sensitized with a sensitizing dye being adsorptive to visible light region.
In the case of the element of FIG. 2, the hydrazone compound (I) or the anile compound (II) forms a charge transport media in conjunction with a binder (and a plasticizer as occasion demands), while the charge generation material such as an inorganic or organic pigment generates charges. In this case, the main ability of the charge transport media is to accept charges that the charge generation material generates and to transport the charges. It is fundamentally required in this instance that the absorption wave length regions of both the charge generation material and the hydrazone compound (I) or anile compound (II) should not overlap each other mainly in the visible light region. This is because there is the necessity for permitting light to transmit up to the surface of the charge generation material so that the latter may generate charges efficiently. The hydrazone compound (I) or anile compound (II) according to this invention is characterized in that it is scarcely absorptive to the visible light region and generally acts as the charge transport material effectively especially when combined with the charge generation material capable of generating charges upon absorption of light in the visible region.
In the case of the element illustrated in FIG. 3, the light transmitted through the charge transport layer 6 reaches the charge generation layer 5 to thereby generate charges at the light struck portions thereof, while the thus generated charges are injected in the charge transport layer 6 and transported therethrough. The mechanism employed herein that the generation of charges required for light decay is allotted to the charge generation material, while the transportation of the charges is allotted to the charge transport medium (the hydrazone compound (I) or the anile compound (II) of this invention mainly acts for that purpose) is the same as that employed in the element illustrated in FIG. 2. The hydrazone compound (I) or the anile compound (II) acts as the charge transport material herein, too.
The element illustrated in FIG. 1 may be prepared by coating a solution onto a conductive substrate and drying, said solution being obtained by dissolving a hydrazone compound (I) or an anile compound (II) in a binder solution and further adding a sensitizing dye thereto as occasion demands.
The element illustrated in FIG. 2 may be prepared by coating a dispersion onto a conductive substrate and drying, said dispersion being obtained by dispersing fine particles of a charge generation material in a solution containing dissolved therein a hydrazone compound (I) or an anile compound (II) and a binder. The element illustrated in FIG. 3 may be prepared by vacuum-evaporating a charge generation material onto a conductive substrate or coating onto a conductive substrate a dispersion obtained by dispersing fine particles of the charge generation material, if needed, in a suitable solvent containing dissolved therein a binder, then by coating a solution containing a hydrazone compound (I) or an anile compound (II) and a binder onto the resulting charge generation layer and, if further needed, after surface finishing or film thickness regulation by, for instance, buffing or the like, and drying. The coating method used herein includes usual means, for instance, such as doctor blade, wire bar and the like.
The photosensitive layers of the elements illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 are each between about 3 microns and 50 microns thick, preferably between about 5 microns and 20 microns thick. In the case of the element illustrated in FIG. 3, the charge generation layer is about 0.01 to 5 microns thick, preferably about 2 microns or less thick, and the charge transport layer is between about 3 microns and 50 microns thick, preferably between about 5 microns and 20 microns thick. In the case of the element illustrated in FIG. 1 the percentage of the hydrazone compound (I) or anile compound (II) contained in the photosensitive layer is in the range of from about 30 to 70% by weight, preferably about 50% by weight relative to the photosensitive layer. The percentage of the sensitizing dye used for rendering the photosensitive layer sensitive to the visible region is in the range of from about 0.1 to 5% by weight, preferably from about 0.5 to 3% by weight relative to the photosensitive layer. In the element illustrated in FIG. 2, the percentage of the hydrazone compound (I) or anile compound (II) to the photosensitive layer is in the range of from about 10 to 95% by weight, preferably from about 30 to 90% by weight, and the percentage of the charge generation material to the photosensitive layer is in the range of from about 0.1 to 50% by weight, preferably about 20% by weight or less. In the element illustrated in FIG. 3, the percentage of the hydrazone compound (I) or anile compound (II) to the charge transport layer, like the case of the photosensitive layer in the element of FIG. 2, is in the range of from about 10 to 95% by weight, preferably from about 30 to 90% by weight. In this context, it is to be noted that a plasticizer may be used in conjunction with a binder in the preparation of the respective elements illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3.
